@_elena As much as I love self hosting, I will never get my friends or family on board with matrix, it's too weird and unfriendly even for me. Maybe a self-hosted #mattermost or #nextcloud chat?

@TheDailyBurble, happy to help.

Another cool feature of #XMPP are "gateways" that make it relatively easy to connect with other IMs and protocols. So you can have all these contacts in the same app(s).

e.g.
#Libervia to #ActivityPub and #email (CC @Goffi )

https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia
https://libervia.org

#Slidge to all sorts of other IM like #Matrix, #Mattermost, #Steam, #Discord, #Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc. (CC @nicoco )

💰 Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase

｢ Salesforce (a $230 billion company) is strong-arming a small nonprofit for teens, by providing less than a week to pony up a pretty massive sum of money, or risk cutting off all our communications. That’s absurd ｣

They will be moving to Mattermost which apparently is opensource but I never heard of it before.

Of course you have Matrix as well

This is what RocketChat were doing since about 2022. Although their documentation suggests they are working on full Matrix support inside the RC server itself, due sometime this month;

Hello there. My group has been using (free) Slack for chatting among ourselves. We are ~20 ppl in 3 locations, so chat has to work.

We want to move, but whereto? We consider #NextCloud Talk, #Mattermost, or #Zulip. We are fine with #selfhosting. It must be #opensource. We just need the chat, not integration with video or other advanced features.

What are you using? Where would you move to (and why)?

A “code of conduct” or “rules” plugin to Mattermost would be dope, and could probably be put to good use by several communities.

In my mind, it would:

1. Add a “report” function to messages, which would alert mods in a private channel

2. Raise the visibility of server rules/Code of Conduct, similar to the rules onboarding in Discord

3. Maybe introduce a mod queue where reported messages (passing a threshold of reports?) are redacted until handled by a mod?
